OVO Network specialises in beautiful, hand-picked luxury properties for unique stays in the French Alps. Chalet Happyview is an OVO Network property. With 8 bedrooms and 11 beds, there's plenty of room for everyone at this superb chalet, which is set over three main floors (max capacity of 23 people). The OVO Network team’s opinion - A swimming pool, gym, home cinema and sauna will be waiting for you at this lavishly restored chalet after a wonderful day exploring the Aravis mountains. Note: children MUST be supervised by adults when using the home cinema. The sauna and gym equipments are available to guests over 16. The wonderful well-being area is on the first floor - there's a shower and a sauna room, opening on to a sunny terrace with a year-round, concealed pool. The 'mazot' or storage room in the garden has been converted into a gym, where you can work out in privacy. The impressive main living area is on the second floor, where it makes the most of the views and access to the garden. A huge three-sided sofa surrounds an open fire, for cosy nights in, and there's a huge dining table where everyone can sit down and eat together. Picture windows flood this floor with light, and open on to a furnished covered terrace, where you can enjoy coffee and soak up the view. Free wifi, cleaning, towels & linen included.

When you stay at Chalet Happyview, you're just a 2km drive from the pistes and just a short walk from the ski bus stop. The ski bus, which also serves La Clusaz, stops just 60m from the chalet, and it's free to use with your Aravis ski pass. This pass covers more than 220km of pristine pistes, in the resorts of Le Grand Bornand, La Clusaz and Manigod, so there's plenty of challenge for skiers and boarders of all abilities. There are also plenty of cross-country trails. Non-skiers won't be bored either - try hiking or snowshoeing, paragliding, hot-air ballooning, ice-skating or ice-climbing. Le Grand Bornand boasts the Famille Plus mark, ensuring that there is always plenty of entertainment and activities for even the youngest visitors. In the summer, a network of walking and biking trails criss-cross the slopes, and you can pick up a route map for either at the tourist office. Le Grand Bornand has a beautiful nine-hole golf course with a great driving range, and on those very hot days, why not head for the fantastic swimming pool complex, with a restaurant and grassy areas for picnics. If you’re looking for something a little more challenging, there’s a climbing school, via ferrata routes, a tree-top adventure park, canyoning, white-water rafting and paragliding all nearby. August sees the international children’s festival - Au Bonheur des Mômes - in Le Grand Bornand, a week of magic shows, circus acts, theatre, games and workshops, with a grand firework finale. It’s always hugely popular, so make sure you book early to guarantee a holiday you’ll never forget!
